My 100 Favourite Fictional Females - Part Two
Happy Birthday crickets! I hope you had a great birthday weekend. All the best in the next year.♥
Does anyone feel like October was just yesterday? Seriously, how could it almost be December? November just feels like a month of lost time. There is so much to do before 2010. For example, the only thing I've done to get organized for Christmas is to ask for cards from you guys. So if anyone else is interested in a holiday card, make me feel organized and let me know here.
Onto more of my 100 favourite fictional females. This group could technically be called 'the bad girls', but that would be trite. They do bad things, yes, but there are complicated ethics and morals involved in each of their cases. They want things - respect, power, admiration, control, love, revenge, or simply a choice. They rarely win, but they will be remembered. They are my complex, disastrous, trying, scary and crafty ladies.
From Left to Right
O-Ren Ishii (Kill Bill)
“You didn't think it was gonna be that easy, did you?”
Carrie White (Carrie)
“It was bad, Mama. They laughed at me.”
Mrs. Danvers (Rebecca)
“Go ahead. Jump. He never loved you, so why go on living? Jump and it will all be over... “
Abigail Williams (The Crucible)
“I am but God's finger, John. If he would condemn Elizabeth, she will be condemned.”
Wilhelmina Slater (Ugly Betty)
“Sorry, I sometimes blackmail people when I'm nervous.”
Sharon “Boomer” Valerii (Battlestar Galactica)
“Today I made a choice. I think it was my last one.”
Nurse Ratched (One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest)
“If Mr. McMurphy doesn't want to take his medication orally, I'm sure we can arrange that he can have it some other way. But I don't think that he would like it.”
Felicia "Snoop" Pearson (The Wire)
“Man said if we wanna shoot nails, this here’s the Cadillac. He mean Lexus, but he ain't know it.”
Lady Macbeth (Macbeth)
“I have given suck, and know,
How tender 'tis to love the babe that milks me;
I would, while it was smiling in my face,
Have plucked my nipple from his boneless gums
And dashed the brains out, had I so sworn as you
Have done to this.”
Annie Wilkes (Misery)
"You'll never know the fear of losing someone like you if you're someone like me."
Next up - my favourite spunky girls - mainly from children's lit.
